A chess piece, or chessman, is any of the six different types of movable objects used on a chessboard to play the game of chess. Each player begins with a total of sixteen pieces; the pieces that belong to each player are distinguished by color. The lighter colored pieces are referred to as "white," and the player that owns them, "White"; the darker colored pieces are referred to as "black", the player that owns them, "Black". The word "piece" has three meanings, depending on the context. Context should make the intended meaning clear, it may mean any including the pawns. When used this way, "piece" is synonymous with "chessman" or "man". In play, the term is used to exclude pawns, referring only to a queen, bishop, knight, or king. In this context, the pieces can be broken down into three groups: major pieces, minor pieces, the king. In phrases such as "winning a piece", "losing a piece" or "sacrificing a piece", it refers only to a bishop or knight; the queen and pawn are specified by name in these cases, for example, "winning a queen", "losing a rook", or "sacrificing a pawn".

In the first context, each of the two players begins with the following sixteen pieces in a standard game: 1 king 1 queen 2 rooks 2 bishops 2 knights 8 pawns The rules of chess prescribe the types of move a player can make with each type of chess piece. Each piece type moves in a different way. During play, the players take; the rook moves any number of vacant squares forwards, left, or right in a straight line. It takes part, along with the king, in a special move called castling; the bishop moves any number of vacant squares diagonally in a straight line. A bishop stays on squares of the same color throughout a game; the two bishops each player starts with move on squares of opposite colors. The queen moves any number of vacant squares in any direction: forwards, left, right, or diagonally, in a straight line; the king moves one vacant square in any direction: forwards, left, right, or diagonally. It has a special move called castling, in which the king moves two squares towards one of its own rooks and in the same move, the rook jumps over the king to land on the square on the king's other side.

Castling may only be performed if the king and rook involved have never been moved in the game, if the king is not in check, if the king would not travel through or into check, if there are no pieces between the rook and the king. The knight moves on an extended diagonal from one corner of any 2×3 rectangle of squares to the furthest opposite corner; the knight alternates its square color each time it moves. Other than the castling move described above where the rook jumps over the king, the knight is the only piece permitted to jump over any intervening piece when moving; the pawn moves forward one square, or optionally, two squares when on its starting square, toward the opponent's side of the board. When there is an enemy piece one square diagonally ahead of a pawn, either left or right the pawn may capture that piece. A pawn can perform a special type of capture of an enemy pawn called en passant. If the pawn reaches a square on the back rank of the opponent, it promotes to the player's choice of a queen, bishop, or knight.

Pieces other than pawns capture in the same way. A capturing piece replaces the opponent piece on its square, except for an en passant capture. Captured pieces are removed from the game. A square may hold only one piece at any given time. Except for castling and the knight's move, no piece may jump over another piece; the variety of designs available is broad, from small cosmetic changes to abstract representations, to themed designs such as those that emulate the drawings from the works of Lewis Carroll, or modern treatments such as Star Trek or The Simpsons. Themed designs are intended for display purposes rather than actual play; some works of art are designs of chess sets, such as the modernist chess set by chess enthusiast and dadaist Man Ray, on display in the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. Chess pieces used for play are figurines that are taller than they are wide. For example, a set of pieces designed for a chessboard with 2.25 inches squares have a king around 3.75 inches tall.

Chess sets are available in a variety of designs, with the most well-known Staunton design, named after Howard Staunton, a 19th-century English chess player, designed by Nathaniel Cooke. The first Staunton style sets were made in 1849 by Jaques of London. Wooden White chess pieces are made of a light wood, boxwood, or sometimes maple. Black wooden pieces are made of a dark wood such as rosewood, red sandalwood, African Padauk wood or walnut. Sometimes they are made of brown, or red. Plastic white pieces are made of white or off-white plastic, plastic black pieces are made of black or red plastic. Sometimes other materials are used, such as ivory, or a composite material. For actual play, pieces of t
